Describes the dataset for the workshop
For the workshop, we will be using a greatly reduced dataset from the Wetland Intervention Monitoring Projects (WIMP; thanks Kay Morris 👏). Note - We have done some masking of the data.
Each day we will provide a Rstudio project that will have the data as well. If you want to start from scratch, click on link below to download project data files and go from there.
Goal: Improving grazing management
Questions: How does grazing affect wetland plants?
The grazing hypothesis guiding this research is the Intermediate Disturbance Hypothesis.

Across western and eastern Victoria, a total of 28 sites were selected to be surveyed. These sites were spread across 5 Catchment Management Authorities (CMA) but with the majority of sites in the western CMAs. Sites were chosen partly to cover a wide variation in grazing intensity.
